Before and "during"

[rawstrength]

So, I've only been 100% raw for two months, but I just wanted to share my two senior portraits. I had retakes because I got my braces off, and there is such a difference between the originals (cooked) and the retakes (1.5 months raw). By the way, in the "cooked" picture, I am wearing foundation to hide my acne. The raw picture is no makeup!
On the left is cooked. On the right is me 100% raw.
Some changes:
Braces removed!!!! (not related to raw, but what a difference)
Softer, shinier, less greasy hair
Nicer skin
Less puffy face
Some things I still hope to improve:
Lose a few more pounds
Have no acne!
Get that "raw glow"

rawstrength you looks INCREDIBLE. Such glowing skin! Youre such an inspiration for me. After years raw people obviously have outstanding transformations which motivate me but they seem like such far away goals...there you are raw for only a couple of months and looking so much brighter...and you were beautiful to begin with!

Oh my goodness...you are beautiful! What lovely pics. You can definitely see the difference raw foods can make in a person. And it only takes a few months! Congrats.

Lol . . . no, not anywhere near Atlanta, and I think I would be absolutely terrified to go rock climbing. Maybe she is my long lost twin? :confused:

Congratulations! You look beautiful!

don't want to seem a bit crazy but I have been looking at before and after pics and it seems like everyone's face lost it's swolleness not only that but the whole head of the person is changed, meaning the whole shape of it. I notice how the nose of the before and after pics of this poster has changed. So if you eat raw your whole face will change shape? What's up with our faces being swollen if you eat cook food? I am just solving the raw mystery lol.
